    That chair job sounds like an evening deal anyway.

    Ok so I decided to take off and head down to one of the two elementary schools here in town. I chose the older of the two and hit the sand tot lot. It'sabout 90 degrees out today and I only managed to get an hour and a half of sweeping in and cleared about half the tot lot before the heat got to me and I headed home.

    Here is what I found: $2.98 in modern clad, a bunch of junk (I dug every target) and two pieces of jewelry. The ring was was a solid signal 2 inches down. when I picked it up I literally tossed it in the pouch without inspecting it and further. A few minutes later I hit on the butterfly hair clip with 2 "diamonds" (most likely CZ).

    Upon closer inspection at home the ring is stamped inside the band with 925. The clip appears to be a silver plated bobby pin with the silver butterfly however it is so small I can't see any stamp on the butterfly. The photos are poor since they are cell phone pics.

    The ring is on the tip of my pinky in that second shot to show how small it is.

    The school itself is locked down but the playing field and playground is open due to youth sports using the fields all the time. The local Sheriff drove by several times and never bothered me so all is good! image
  • Good job DR! I think you have the detector set just right if you pick up paper clips and bobby pins.
